Gheluvelt Park ducks, Worcester: Tuesday, 5th February, 2019.

Unusually, the ducks are not near the pond.
It's a chance to feed them without the squawking seagulls mobbing them.
Waddling off back over to the pond now.

A Sunday walk, Worcester: 3rd February, 2019.

The happy couple.
Cormorants drying out and all facing downstream.
The bridge across the River Severn.
There's a lot going on in this photo.
May we just mention that whenever they decide to knock down 
the technical college it wont be a second too soon.
Dunno Vic. I can't see a thing without me glasses on.

A touch of frost, Worcester: Thursday, 31st January, 2019.

A tangle of roots.
Whilst most of the country gets some proper snow,
this is the best we can do.




Back home and it's time for some of Vicky's 
Almond and Pistachio Biscuits.
Much tastier than her Pistachio and Almond alternative, obviously.

Carbis Bay to St Ives on foot and back by train: Thursday, 27th December, 2018.

Carbis Bay to the Godrevy Lighthouse is anything to go by.

Christmas Day breakfast I.
Christmas Day breakfast II.
About to cross the railway track and begin our walk along the coastal path.
No trains today, of course.
It wouldn't be Christmas Day without 
some fungus lurking around somewhere.

A Very Merry Christmas to one and all.
